  I think Robbins' new book,  Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates,  is more readable than Skinny Legs and All -  his style has evolved and is more subtle yet still provocative without having to cram it down your throat so much .  I still love his old works too for their sheer imaginative force,  but,  much like Salman Rushdie,  it can be a bit much for many people.  Hmmmm,  no Robbins is not a virgo,  he's on the Cancer/
Leo cusp -  maybe not so much like you,  after all,  Carol .  So let's talk about pregnant sex -  is it just me or do you have a lot less of it when you're prego?  I'm not sure what it is -  could be the belly interfering with the comfort level of the favorite position .  or the fact that Anthony is anxious about hurting the baby,  or the fact that when he looks at me now he sees " mother of my child,  instead of " hot chick"
 -
 or the fact that we are closer than ever emotionally but both our sex- crazed hormones seem to have subsided substantially,  maybe it's the fact that our evolutionary directive has been met for the time being .
 Also,  another question for you girls:  how long is the recovery period after birth?  I signed up to teach classes at the botanic gardens 6 weeks after the baby arrives ( just one Saturday here and there for a few hours,  not back to work full- time)
 -
 that's enough re- coup time,  right?  Were you ready to get out of the house on your own by then,  Carol?  I imagine I'll be feeling pretty stir- crazy by then,  considering I rarely sit still for a minute in my free time and usually work 7 days a week even now .  What do you think?
